‘Shademaster’ or Soft Buffalo Grass
A lush green lawn adds beauty and value to any home. Unfortunately, a more familiar sight to most gardeners is a thin patchy lawn struggling to survive without enough water or sunlight. One of the best lawn grasses for shady areas has always been buffalo grass (Stenotaphrum secundatum). It forms a coarse, durable carpet, is reasonably drought tolerant and grows well in most frost free areas. The good news is that a new variety of buffalo grass called ‘Shademaster’ or Soft Buffalo has now been developed which grows even more successfully in shady spots.
